The Expressway Authority of Thailand will waive toll fees across 63 plazas on three major routes from 28 to 30 July to ease holiday travel and congestion.
Commuters across Greater Bangkok will enjoy free travel on three major expressways over the upcoming three-day public holiday, from Tuesday 28 July to Thursday 30 July 2026.
The Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT), operating under the Ministry of Transport, confirmed that toll fees will be waived for 72 consecutive hours, running from 00:01 on Tuesday until midnight on Thursday.
The toll-free initiative coincides with three consecutive official public holidays:
Tuesday, 28 July: His Majesty the King’s Birthday
Wednesday, 29 July: Asahna Bucha Day
Thursday, 30 July: Buddhist Lent Day
Affected Expressways and Toll Plazas
The waiver applies to 63 toll plazas across three key routes:
Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway (Din Daeng–Bang Na–Dao Khanong) — 21 toll plazas
Si Rat Expressway (Chaeng Watthana–Bang Khlo–Srinakarin) — 32 toll plazas
Udon Ratthaya Expressway (Bang Pa-in–Pak Kret) — 10 toll plazas
Transport officials confirmed that the measure aligns with government policy and amended concession agreements between EXAT, Bangkok Expressway and Metro Public Company Limited (BEM), and Northern Bangkok Expressway Company Limited (NECL).
The initiative is designed to facilitate long-distance holiday travel, reduce daily living costs for motorists, and prevent bottleneck traffic jams at expressway barriers during the holiday period.
